Thanks so much.my plan is absolutely to start smaller using the tips others have told me about —and to leverage my personal relationships in those companies to build trust over time (to be ready!).

@Lauren Cutchen Absolutely! 

I completely agree with your implied notion that if I were going to do this, it would absolutely be more beneficial to do it myself especially with an insignificant down payment like 3.5%.

Thats absolute thievery. 

@Armando Carrera, Absolutely!

It's in a neighborhood of absolutely no crime whatsoever.

Real estate is too much work to not be getting absolutely killer deals (and there's not that many available right now).rental vs adu , rental always wins because gross PPSF-appraisal/rent of ADU is less than PPSF-for-rent for regular rent.and with the available of homes already has converted room (and ADU) makes building adu is a moot point.i would just even buy SF with 6-7 rooms 

It's a game to inflate each other's posts.Your DMs are probably absolutely stuffed right now.

My mindset is absolutely stronger because it only reflects my ability to do the work.

Would you absolutely reject working with MFA and Zeker?
